145 – Delinia – Finish
When Lily’s urn was brought back to the original grave and came out, the remains of Halloween covering the surroundings had disappeared like a lie.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but you’re still busy.”
Sylvie, who responded to my call and showed up after a long time. She had been standing silently until now, but when she opened her mouth to check, it seemed that it was time to go back soon.
“I’m sorry I made you do this as soon as I called you after a long time.”
“no. If it’s Gregory-sama’s call, even hellfire is welcome.”
… … and still loyal
“Oh, come to think of it, I recently met Hercules.”
“… … Are you talking about that muscle jerk? It looks like he hasn’t died yet and is alive and well.”
“… … Well, I’m living my life hard in my own way. I thought you might be curious.”
“I don’t really care about the muscle idiot’s current situation. The only thing I’m curious about is about Mr. Gregory.”
“Thank you for saying that. … … Should I go back now?”
I began to see that Sylvie’s body was gradually fading.
The [Skill: Summon Fellowship] time had run out.
“yes. Still, I don’t think our next meeting will take too long.”
“… … yes.”
Through this battle, Rosé gained enlightenment and became a 5th circle. And I also managed to get to 5 stars. Finally, I was able to meet the minimum conditions to go to the Demon Realm.
“Then, I look forward to meeting you next time in the Demon Realm, and I will step aside.”
“Yes, it was hard.”
“… … Bye.”
Still, Sylvie disappears with a smile at the end. When I was staring blankly at the place where she disappeared——
“Gregory! what? What about Gummy?”
Rose, who had just come out of the graveyard, looked around and asked me.
“I just went back.”
“Yeah?! Ahh… … . I was going to say thank you for being favored this time!”
Rosé pouted her lips, regretting that Sylvie had passed away. I stroked her hair and said as if I was nothing.
“I’ve also reached 5 stars and can return to the Pandemonium, so I’ll see you soon.”
“… … Will it?”
“Yeah, sure.”
After the party finished cleaning the tomb and came out, we moved to Euglia’s mansion, where Rosé and Ella’s house is located.
People who saw us in the villages we stopped by on the way showed surprised faces, but we, who were already tired, didn’t have the energy to care about such things.
“Mom aaa mother!”
As soon as we arrived in front of the mansion, Mint, who was waiting for us at the door, screamed and hugged Rose.
Even though we washed ourselves once with Ella’s help on the way back, we looked like defeated soldiers, so Mint hugged Rose, who rushed towards her with a surprised expression, and stroked her head.
“You must have suffered a lot. Having gone through that Halloween… … .”
“huh! Just, suddenly, my great-grandmother is resurrected! Use the Dragon Breath on your great-great-grandmother! It was hard.”
“huh?”
what did i just hear? Mint is making a face. Seeing that, I sighed and approached her.
“Can I go inside and talk about the details?”
“Ah yes. I told the servants to get the bath water, so please get some rest first.”
“thanks. Mint von Euglia.”
“Yes, I… … under. I’ll be waiting for you in the parlor. What is the story of great-great-grandmother and what is the story of Dragon Breath… … . Rosé, you should hurry up and wash up too.”
“Hey.”
After scattering to our respective rooms and taking a light bath, we each decided to gather in the parlor after taking a shower.
When I arrived, most of them except Rosé and Ella had arrived, and Marvas, who had arrived before me, seemed to be having a serious conversation with Valentine Nostel for some reason.
And Rosé and Ella come right behind. When I smelled the scent of Rosé, it seemed that I had smoked somewhere else.
“what? Are we the last?”
“It’s because my sister smoked a cigarette and asked me to wait for her to go!”
“hehehehe. Oh, yes. Didn’t everyone gather to report what happened at the graveyard?”
Mint let out a sigh when Rosé clapped his hands and smiled.
“So, what do you mean by great-great-grandmother and what do you mean by dragon breath?”
“Ah, that’s it… … .”
Rosé sat down and started talking about what had happened at the graveyard.
Encountering the followers of Naberius, and figuring out in the process that there was a group of people targeting Lily’s tomb. Even Lily’s resurrection and spitting out the Dragon Breath at her.
“Wait a minute, are you saying you really shot the Dragon Breath? you?”
“yes. I didn’t really shoot with my mouth, I shot with a cane. If I shoot it with my mouth, it’s a rose breath, right?”
“That’s right… … . But the important thing is where did you learn that?”
“Did you learn at the academy?”
“… … huh? Do you teach dragon breath at the academy these days?”
“Did you teach me?”
“… … really?”
Don’t get me wrong when I say that. I grabbed my forehead and added an additional explanation.
“The Academy Vice President is a dragon. I heard that Rosé was able to learn from her unique constitution.”
“Ah, that’s it. It should have been explained that way from the beginning. You guy!”
“Aww! mom! ear! ear! My ears hurt!”
explanation to follow. And finally, after defeating Beryl and returning Lily to her original grave, Rosé finished the story.
“… … I could never have imagined that something like this would have happened during Halloween, when security was lax. We were too complacent.”
Valentine drools after hearing all the stories.
“Honey, we need to strengthen the security of Lily-sama’s grave.”
“I guess so. Sooner or later, I will raise the agenda to the Delinia meeting.”
“Yes, honey.”
Fortunately, it seems that Delinia is taking action. With this, Naberius’ followers would not be able to target Lily’s tomb easily.
“Then, when are you planning to return to the academy?”
“yes? uh… … Tomorrow is class, so maybe we should start right away?”
“You mean so suddenly?”
“Marvas-sama also came, so it’s a pity.”
“Heh heh, isn’t that the home of my summoner? If the academy goes on vacation, I’ll be back, so don’t worry too much.”
At Valentine’s regretful words, Marvas smiled and said to him.
“Yes, my daughter’s pet is that Marvas-sama. I still can’t believe it.”
In such a warm atmosphere, we went out of the mansion, being greeted by two couples.
“A lot of people are riding just that one?”
“uh… … Will it work somehow? Summoned people can enter the mental space.”
“… … I’d like to lend you the griffon, but then it’ll be late, right?”
“lol. yes.”
No matter how much Griffon was compared to a flying dragon among mounts, it was not a class comparable to Nightmare.
If the Griffon was a supercar, the Nightmare was a hypercar.
“Oh, take this before you go. Is it time to fall down?”
Mint hands Rose a nicely wrapped silk pouch from her pocket as if she remembered it just now.
“and! Tobacco leaves!”
“Even if you go to the academy, don’t get hitched, eat a full meal, and listen carefully to Gregory and Marvas?”
“yes! I’ll listen carefully. Hello Ella and Dad too!”
After saying goodbye to each other, the summoned beasts decided to return to the mental space to move smoothly.
It was because the Demonic had grown in size as it had risen to 4 stars.
Just tequila and rosé. It was a bit unsettling to pilot the Nightmare alone, so I decided to go with Rosé’s cape collar, which can be reduced in size with wheel foam.
“Come on, Gregory! Let’s start soon!”
Rose, who climbed on top of Nightmare, pointed at her collar and shouted.
“Um… … .”
Parus. After making a sound, it flew towards Rosé, landed on her shoulder, and clung to Rosé’s neck while whimpering.
Normally, Rosé wouldn’t be weird even if he made a fuss about being gross. But for some reason, when I’m in this form, I don’t see any sign of that.
“Rosé.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t it very creepy when you look like this?”
“yes! how to say It’s like a graffiti I drew when I was little, so it’s okay!”
“… … Graffiti.”
Even so, the country is also hurt. Well, it was best to do it in this form since it had all kinds of penalties to reduce the size.
“Okay, then let’s go! Tequila! Hold tight!”
“please. Rosé.”
Rosé and Tequila. And the Nightmare carrying me soars into the sky. If we continue like this for a few hours, we will arrive at the academy where we used to be. Until then, there was nothing much to do, so I turned on my status window in a 5-star state I hadn’t seen before.
“Status window.”

“Hoo.”
The status window has changed a lot.
The star became a 5-star, and the [Demon World Movement] feature was created, as well as the master of spreading wings, and the level of other skills had risen significantly.
And, more than anything, what caught my eye was the new skill. It was a [Summoning of the family].
[Skill: Summon Fellowship]
[Description: This is the skill of Gregory Jones, the grand duke of the Pandemonium and a member of several clans. You can summon one of your subordinates with mutual consent, and the duration and slots that can be summoned are proportional to the skill level.]
To be able to summon my subordinates… … . It was a more powerful skill than I thought. Considering that the cost to summon Sylvie is 1 level… … Wouldn’t it be possible to summon a formidable army later? I thought so.
It’s best not to have a situation to summon the army… … .
By all means, hoping that this won’t happen, I closed the status window.
